A system and method for receiving and storing information transmission units such as electronic mails, where newly received transmission units are automatically allocated to groups in a storing means, employing a weighted sum with respect to the determination of allocation decision parameters from the comparison between the structure of previously stored transmission units and the newly to be stored transmission units.

Description

Transmission unit receives and memory storage
Invention field
The present invention relates to receive and store reception and memory storage and the corresponding method thereof that has the transmission of Information unit.This reception and memory storage are connected to the conveyer that is used for this transmission unit, and to form communication system, transmission unit has certain format, and except that other data, it also comprises the data relevant with each transmission unit feature.
Background technology
The electronic information of transmitting so-called Email (e-mails) becomes more and more important as a kind of quick and effective information exchange system.In this system, the user writes a message and by the address of specifying another user it is transmitted to this user.This message is translated into the form of the transmission system that is applicable to that two users connect, and is delivered to this address by described transmission system afterwards.
The system that is widely known by the people that supports this electronic information is exactly so-called internet.Except this global system, also exist some only to be the user of some in a given area, the user of some in company for example, the network of service, this network is called Intranet.Also the local and the global information transmission system can be combined, for example, by so-called gateway, i.e. tie point between Intranet and World Wide Web, the user who allows Intranet is transmission of messages other user to Intranet, or transfers to the user of World Wide Web.
Therefore, this network allows to communicate by letter between a message source and the one or more message recipients.For communicating by letter between information source and the recipient, need to answer two problems, promptly what can transmit and how with its transmission.First problem relates to grammer and second problem relates to agreement.In above-mentioned existing network communicating system, promptly so-called simple message transfer protocol (SMTP) (RFC 821) and OSI message handling system (X.400 series) two kinds of main consensus standards have appearred.Transmit in order to carry out data, two kinds of agreements all are that any given user is appointed as communication front-end with so-called user agent.Fig. 6 schematically shows an example based on the information handling system of these agreements.The user agent collects flows out message and flows into message.In order to initiate a message, user agent and transmission agent communication are transmitted agent processes message arrives the recipient user agent by network route then.At receiving end, message routes to so-called mailbox by the transmission agency.Can call by the user agent by the recipient by the message that mailbox is collected.Source or transmission unit A, network B and receiving element C form a communication system.Shown in the identical structure of Fig. 6, unit A and C can both send and receive message.
The grammer of transmission unit or message generally is divided into two parts, is respectively header and newspaper body.The newspaper body is loaded with the actual content of message, and promptly message source is wished the information of communicating by letter with the recipient, and header comprises the message relevant with message itself, for example, author and recipient's address, with the time or date and the relevant information of theme of message.The newspaper body can comprise the binary-coded information of the computer data form of plain text or expression any kind.Also support belongs to the transmission of a plurality of newspaper body portions of a message.The message of cutting apart is in this manner re-assemblied at receiving end.
For two kinds of above-mentioned consensus standards, the RFC 1521/RFC1522 of RFC 822 and RFC 821 and OSI X.419 in grammer is described.Detailed disclosing arranged in following file, among the application this is no longer described.Crocer, David H., RFC 822:ARPA internet text message format standard, DDN network information center (NIC), the SRI world, August nineteen eighty-two.Borenstein N., Freeed N., RFC 1521:MIME (expansion of many purposes internet mail) first: set and describe the mechanism of internet message physique formula, DDN network information center (NIC), the SRI world, in September, 1993.Moore K., RFC 1522:MIME (expansion of many purposes internet mail) second portion: non-ASCII text message head expansion, DDN network information center (NIC), the SRI world, in September, 1993.The VII of CCITT seminar, data communication network: message handling system (MHS), the volume VIII, the proposed standard of Red Book series X.400-X.420, International Telecommunications Union (ITU), 1984.The VII of CCITT seminar, data communication network: message handling system (MHS), the volume VIII, the proposed standard of blue book series X.400-X.420, International Telecommunications Union (ITU), 1984.Prior art and problem
In the message handling system of the above-mentioned type, the message stores that the user agent will newly receive is in suitable storer.As mentioned above, these message of newly receiving comprise data relevant with the actual content of message and the data relevant with message itself, author for example, recipient, theme, keyword etc.These message generally are stored in the predetermined group, promptly deposit in the file that is called inbox.In this document folder, these message can be according to any standard sorted, for example by their reception and transmission time ordering, or according to author's ordering etc.The user can fetch message and browse these message to determine which message needs to keep from inbox, and which message needs deletion and he is wished where the message stores that keeps arrives.Usually these actions often repeat reproduction message, and for example, the message relevant with particular topic (for example, engineering) can always be stored in a specific file.The message This move that scanning is newly received is very dull and time-consuming, particularly when the user receives a large amount of message.Because need to read and store stored message again, this also constitutes a burden to memory storage.Therefore, the method for reception and store electrons message is not enough technically.
For avoiding this time-consuming job and realizing robotization, have some systems and allow message to be sorted according to the pre-determined rule of user.At OFFICE COMPUTING REPORT, Vol.15, No.9 has the description to this system in 1992 9 months.This system is also referred to as Rule Builder.This rule allows according to the attribute of mail they to be mated automatically.These rules generally comprise " when-IF-THEN " structure (when an incident takes place, and if the event matches certain condition, then carry out specific action).Its example is: when a new information that is loaded with theme " meeting " is transferred to inbox, and if it from higher level's transmission, then this message is stored in the committee paper folder.
The shortcoming of this known system is that to distribute particular message to the rule of particular group (file) also must be to be formulated by the user.This is not very simple, and which mail will arrive and how to handle them because the user must be able to predict.This is for just more difficult the user that will receive a large amount of mails from different information sources.Also have, in case rule is determined, it will remain unchanged, and it will be not suitable for handling the situation of the continuous variation relevant with the attribute of the mail that receives sometimes.As a result, the user must check and upgrade the rule of employing.This is again a time-consuming job, and it influences the user and carries out at hand real work, promptly concentrates on the content and corresponding response of message.Otherwise if it is no longer suitable, this system efficient over time will step-down.
The problems referred to above that run into when handling email message are not limited in above-mentioned system.And these problems all can take place in the transmission unit (being Email in above-mentioned example) that will receive is dispensed to the system of particular group of storer.
Goal of the invention
Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide extremely given group system and method for a kind of automatic distribution transmission unit, wherein, distribution itself is the condition of carrying out automatically and adapt to variation automatically, thereby can realize efficiently receiving and storage system.Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is by adopting weighted sum to determine the distributing system and method for decision parameter to realize, wherein, distributing the decision parameter is relatively obtaining by the structure of the transmission unit of having stored and new transmission unit to be stored.
According to the present invention, when receiving a new transmission unit (for example, an Email), system determines and the relevant data of attribute (for example, author, recipient and theme) that are received the predetermined quantity of unit.Corresponding data (for example author's name) before in the group (for example file) of thresholding of these data or Attribute domain (for example author's name who indicates in the author territory of message) and predetermined quantity in the unit of storage compares.Determine to comprise in each group of handling new reception the unit each attribute frequency (for example, group 1: the author's name who supposes the message of reception is the author of 10 message of having stored, recipient's name of supposing the message of reception is 52 recipient's names of storing message, supposes that the theme of the message of reception is 4 themes of storing message; Group 2: the author's name who supposes the message of reception is the author of 17 message of having stored, supposes that recipient's name of the message of reception is 34 recipient's names of storing message, supposes that the theme of the message of reception is 0 theme of storing message; Deng).Therefore, this system is each attribute and each group specified data occurrence value (in above-mentioned example, " author " attribute is 10 in the group 1, and " recipient " attribute is 52 in the group 1, etc.).
Afterwards, this system multiply by a weighting factor relevant with group with attribute with each data occurrence value.In each group, with the summation of the product of all properties gained and divided by the number of unit in given group, to produce a storage signals relevant with each group of just handling.Afterwards, based on the storage signals, the unit of reception is assigned in all possible group any (in the file of for example, just handling one or be assigned to the default file folder).
Because distribute decision to be based on to depend on the signals that is stored in the unit in the system, the present invention has realized immediately new unit being deposited automatically in the reception and the storage system of group, and adapt to the instantaneous state of the unit that this decision extremely stored automatically.Because this self-adaptation, system of the present invention has very high dirigibility and very high efficient.

Embodiment describes in detail
Below the present invention will be described for the mode by most preferred embodiment.
Fig. 1 illustrates the synoptic diagram of a total embodiment of the present invention.Reception and memory storage 1 comprise a memory storage 2, and wherein transmission unit TRU is stored in predetermined group G 1... G i..., G nIn.Provide data to determine device 3 in addition, to determine data relevant and the related data relevant with the identical particular community that is stored in the transmission unit in the memory storage 2 with the particular community of the transmission unit that receives.
Fig. 2 illustrates an example of transmission unit.The form of the transmission unit TRU that illustrates is that a header and a newspaper body are arranged.Header comprises a plurality of sections or territory 10-14, each contain the data relevant with the particular community of described unit TRU (author for example, the recipient, the date, etc.), i.e. thresholding.Please note that Fig. 2 only shows an example.The specific format of transmission unit is not very important for the present invention, needs only the relevant data of attribute that they contain and define, and can distinguish to the relation between given data and the particular community.In the form shown in Fig. 2, it guarantees that wherein each section contains the data relevant with particular community because have the particular segment of determining order.For example, section 10 can always contain the author's name, and section 11 is names of recipient, etc.Another kind of possible form is the data relevant with specific attribute, and promptly thresholding is to be discerned by beginning and end mark, and this makes these data can be positioned at any position of transmission unit.
System shown in Fig. 1 also comprises comparison means 4, the data of the data of the transmission unit that it is relatively received and the transmission unit of having stored.5 pairs of following incidents of a comparative measurements device are counted, promptly the number of times that the relevant information (for example name) of one of the attribute of the selected number of receiving the unit (for example author) is covered in the attribute section relevant with the described attribute of unit in the group that is stored in some is counted, and just determines its occurrence value.The attribute of each selected quantity and the group of each some are all carried out described counting.
A calculation element 6 is provided, uses the value that counts out by described comparative measurements device basis as the weighted sum of the group of calculating each described some.Described weighted sum is to be calculated by the product of occurrence value and product factor or weighting factor, and is the same with described occurrence value, and each weighting factor also depends on described attribute and described group.Its example is shown in Figure 3, and wherein Xuan Ding attribute is " author ", " recipient ", " theme ", " forwarding ", " keyword " and " this locality " (this example will illustrate in greater detail afterwards).For example, being included in data (for example " Miller ") that the attribute section relevant with " author " of the transmission unit of reception contain has and is included in the attribute section relevant with " author " that is stored in the unit among the group i for 011 time.Afterwards, this is on duty with weighting factor W 1iAnd be added to other by occurrence value O JiWith weighting factor W based on attribute j and group i JiOn the summation of the product of forming.This summation afterwards

Be comprised in the unit number n among the group i iRemove.End value S iIt is a yardstick of the similarity degree of transmission unit that receives and the group of handling.This value is big more, and new transmission unit is similar more to the unit of the group of handling.
At last, storage determination device 7 signals S according to the group of just handling iThe storage and the ordering of the new transmission unit that receives of control.Just as already mentioned, these signals S iProvide the data of the attribute in the processing of unit of reception and the tolerance of the matching degree of the corresponding data that is stored in the unit among the group i.
Fig. 4 illustrates the process flow diagram of the method according to this invention, and described method adopts in above-mentioned system.At first step S1, determine whether new transmission unit arrives.If, then determine the value that comprises in the predetermined attribute territory of described new unit at step S2, at step S3 with it be stored in the data that contain in the respective attributes territory of transmission unit of the group in the processing and compare.Therefore, determine the occurrence value O of value of j attribute of unit new in the i group JiAfterwards, at step S4, these occurrence values multiply by factor W JiAnd calculate Σ j = 1 P O ji · W ji Wherein P represents the number of preliminary election attribute.This summation is comprised in the unit number n i of group among the i and removes afterwards, thereby determines the signals S of each group in handling iAt last, at step S5, based on signals S i, new transmission unit is automatically assigned to a group.
Because this device, the invention provides the reception and the memory storage that are used for transmission unit, the unit that it not only will newly receive is automatically assigned to group, and realizes that by the weighted sum that calculates based on the unit that is contained by the group in handling self-adaptation distributes automatically.Therefore, distribute decision always to adapt to the instantaneous state of the group in handling automatically.This makes this system very flexibly with efficient.There are several use signals S iTo distribute the transmission unit that receives to the possibility of organizing.According to one embodiment of present invention, signals S iJust simple relatively mutual, the message that is received has been assigned to maximum signals S iGroup i.Like this, the transmission unit of reception is assigned to group the most similar on the statistics.According to another embodiment of the invention, maximum and second largest signals have been determined, if the difference between maximal value and the second largest value exceeds certain limit, the transmission unit that receives only is stored in peaked group, if difference is less than described boundary, it stores in maximal value and second largest two groups.This embodiment has improved first embodiment, if provide a kind of their signals near just it being assigned to the system that two (or a plurality of) organize.
According to most preferred embodiment of the present invention, distribute decision to carry out according to following method.At first, Zui Da signals S iBe determined, afterwards, this value compares with a threshold value T.If this maximal value is greater than threshold value, then the transmission unit of Jie Shouing is stored in the group relevant with described maximal value, otherwise the transmission unit of reception is assigned to predetermined default group, wherein said default group does not belong to the group in any processing, and promptly this default group is not calculated signals S i
Threshold value T finishes two purposes.On the one hand, it makes and prevents arbitrary decision that under all less relatively situation of all signals the data and the group in any processing of the attribute section of the transmission unit that this explanation receives are all very inequality.On the other hand, it adjusts parameter to adjust the usage frequency of automatic distribution function as one.Therefore, T preferably can be set by the user.If T is set to relatively large value, then the transmission unit of great majority reception is assigned to default group, and the frequency that promptly is automatically assigned to the group in the processing is lower.If T is set to less value, reverse effect is then arranged, promptly often distribute automatically.Adopt the embodiment of threshold value to provide better flexibility for system.
Certainly, if corresponding signals S iMore approaching, the determining method that just transmission unit that receives can be stored to two groups is combined with the method for above-mentioned use threshold value T, if the signals that promptly belongs to two groups near exceedance T all also, the transmission unit of reception stores two groups into.
As mentioned above, at definite signals S iThe time, the present invention has adopted a plurality of parameters.The first, attribute in a plurality of processing (for example " author " and " recipient "=2 are arranged; Or " author ", " recipient " and " theme "=3).Secondly, group in a plurality of processing (for example 4 in 10 possible groups) is arranged.Preferably, these two parameters all can be set by the user, and make the user system can be adjusted to and meet individual demand and hobby.In other words, user's which attribute that can adjust (promptly allowing before the automatic allocation process) transmission unit in advance need to consider and automatically distribution may be assigned to which group.
Further, system of the present invention uses above-mentioned weighting factor W JiIn one embodiment, these weighting factors can be steady state values, but preferably these factors be the adjustable parameter of user (being that the user can allow automatic allocation process regulate these parameters in the past) but or the instantaneous state of the group of self-adaptation in handle also.The characteristic in back will be in following explanation.
According to most preferred embodiment of the present invention, be used to calculate the weighting factor W of above-mentioned weighted sum JiBe based on handle in average unordered being determined of generation of the relevant data of attribute.Average unordered being commonly defined as of the element that a plurality of branches comprise (seeing Winston, PatrickHenry, artificial intelligence, the third edition, Addison Wesley, 1992): d avg = Σ b ( n b n t ) · ( Σ b - n bc n b log 2 n bc n b ) , N wherein bBe the number of elements of the b of branch, n tBe the element sum of all branches, and n BcIt is the number of elements of the b of branch of class c.Value 1 expression is unordered fully.Value 0 expression is complete ordering.The unordered notion of statistical distribution is that the concept of information entropy with Probability Distribution interrelates.
According to the present invention, total equation that native system adopts be by will organize all transmission units among the i regard a class as and handle in other group in the unit regard second class as and come j attribute in the computing and i weighting factor W that organizes in the processing Ji.In other words, in the context of the present invention, only there are two classes.
At first, must determine what different values j attribute exists.As an example,, then must determine to find what different names in this classification of the transmission unit stored in the group in all are handled if j attribute is attribute " author ".Suppose to have 20 names, with subscript k sign, i.e. name 1..., name k... name 20Name kThe number of times that (belonging to attribute j) occurs in group i is by Q Ji(namek) sign.And name kAppear at the number of times NQ of other group of the group in the processing Ji(name k) expression.Name appears kThe sum of unit (in the group in all are handled) by T Ji(name k) sign, wherein certain T Ji(name k)=Q Ji(name k)+NQ Ji(name k).The sum that is included in the unit of the group in all processing is designated N.In the example that provides, i.e. 20 different names, N is provided by following equation: N = Σ k = 1 20 T ji ( name k ) .
Therefore, the unordered d of relative i the group of j attribute (being " author " in this example) JiBe: d ji = Σ k = 1 20 T ji ( name k ) N ( - Q ji ( name k ) T ji ( name k ) · log 2 ( Q ji ( name k ) T ji ( name k ) ) - NQ ji ( name k ) T ji ( name k ) · log 2 ( NQ ji ( name k ) T ji ( name k ) ) )
Therefore, if j attribute generally has K jIndividual different value, wherein said value be the unit stored j Attribute domain content and use value kExpression, then unordered d JiGenerally determine by following formula: d ji = Σ k = 1 K j T ji ( value k ) N ( - Q ji ( value k ) T ji ( value k ) · log 2 ( Q ji ( value k ) T ji ( value k ) ) - NQ ji ( value k ) T ji ( value k ) · log 2 ( NQ ji ( value k ) T ji ( value k ) ) )
Item Q Ji/ T JiBe illustrated in value among the group i kRelative generation number.If number Q Ji(value k) in one or NQ Ji(value k) equaling 0, this just means and contains value kAll unit all in group i, or do not have value among the i in group kThe unit, then corresponding product Q ji ( value k ) T ji ( value k ) · log 2 ( Q ji ( value k ) T ji ( value k ) ) or NQ ji ( value k ) T ji ( value k ) · log 2 ( NQ ji ( value k ) T ji ( value k ) ) Be defined as 0, because the boundary value lim of x-＞0 (x logx) equals 0.Like this, just defined definite d JiThe all probable values of equation.
According to the present invention, weighting W JiDefine by following equation: W ji = 1 - d ji Σ J = 1 P ( 1 - d Ji ) .
All selected attributes (be called J with avoid with molecule in value d JiObscure) on obtain the summation of denominator, promptly from 1 to P, wherein P is the number of selected attribute.Therefore, weighting W JiIt is on average unordered that reflection is correlated with j relative i the group of attribute.For example, have in order largely if organize i relatively, promptly most values of being correlated with attribute j are identical in described group, then unordered d JiLess and weighting factor W JiBigger.Therefore, j attribute is at i signals S that organizes iDetermine in play a major role.On the other hand, if relative j attribute have bigger unordered (be d JiBigger), j attribute then at signals S iIn influence less.
Because most preferred embodiment has been arranged, native system is flexible more and efficient is higher, this is because the parameter of not only distributing is determined automatically based on the instantaneous state of the group in handling, and is used for calculating the instantaneous state that the parameter that determines parameter also is adapted to the group of processing.
According to further most preferred embodiment, adopted expired function of time in the system.In case the value representation transmission unit in the time or date territory has been stored preset time, this function system that makes deletes the transmission unit of storage automatically.Preferably, preset time is not different for each on the same group, and can be set by the user before system start-up.In the normal time interval, for example once a day, the value in the date territory of the transmission unit of each storage of systems inspection is determined poor with current date, and if this difference surpass the value of setting for the group of having stored this unit, then delete this unit.For example, if to have set expired time be a week to the user for given group, then those relative current dates have been crossed the transmission unit in a week in the system-kill group.
The quantity of the transmission unit of this characteristic assurance storage is adjusted automatically and system can not become because having stored excessive unit, and over-burden.Particularly, this characteristic has strengthened fundamental mechanism of the present invention, and this is because it has guaranteed really to be adapted to up-to-date message flow by the distribution that the current state of system is determined.In other words, by expired characteristic automatically the old message of deletion no longer influence the distribution of new message, make the feature of the current message flow of the faster adaptation of system.Therefore, this improved properties the automatic dirigibility of system.
As mentioned above, the user is preferably in some parameters that automatic distribution system starts preceding Adjustment System.According to another most preferred embodiment, the adjustment of this parameter or setting can be finished under the help that is called graphic user interface, and Fig. 5 shows an example of graphic user interface.This graphic user interface can be presented on the display device as CRT, and this adjustment can be carried out under the help such as the standard input device of mouse and keyboard.This display device and input equipment are known in the prior art, do not need more description.
Among the figure, can adjust threshold value T to determine automatic ordering action, the group that can select adjustable parameters is that optionally expired time also can be set.Further, demonstrate the weighting relevant with the attribute of selected group of predetermined quantity.
This characteristic has been strengthened the availability of native system greatly, because the user can be fast and needs and the hobby of configuration-system to satisfy him safely.
Implement of the present invention one preferably mode be the Email processing system that software is realized.This best mode of embodiment is below described.This system is installed on the user's computer, and this user suitably is connected on the transmission network such as the internet by commercial supplier.This system comprises aforesaid graphic user interface, and its example is shown in Fig. 5.Before start-up system, the user must set up the file of requirement, will store the new Email that is distributed automatically by system in these files.According to this most preferred embodiment, system uses these files with all groups in above-mentioned processing, and will set up a default file folder (for example called after " universal inbox ") automatically.
When receiving new Email, extraction value in the Attribute domain of system's predetermined quantity (adjusting under the help of graphic user interface by the user in advance) from message, with its with handle in file (be at this moment default file folder beyond All Files folder) in the value in respective attributes territory of message of storage compare, determine corresponding occurrence value Q Ji, thereafter as identical, for the file in each processing is determined signals S to the explanation of Fig. 3 iAt unordered d JiThe basis on automatically determine weighting W JiAutomatically determine, promptly by W ji = 1 - d ji Σ J = 1 P ( 1 - d Ji ) , Determine, as above detailed description.
Thereafter system determines maximum signals S MaxAnd with this value and user-defined threshold value T comparison.This threshold value T is determined under the help of as shown in Figure 5 graphic user interface in advance by the user.If S MaxGreater than T, then Email is assigned to S MaxIn the file that belongs to.If not, this Email is assigned in the default file folder.
Most preferred embodiment of the present invention also comprises above-mentioned expired time function, and expired time can be respectively each file adjustment, as shown in Figure 5.The operation of this characteristic as previously mentioned.
This embodiment also might make up the feature of the feature of above-mentioned most preferred embodiment and previously described total embodiment, it should be noted that those skilled in the art can make up each feature in the different most preferred embodiments as required with individual's the hobby form with any hope when the present invention is used in practice.
The above embodiments can be regarded examples more of the present invention as.The invention is not restricted to these examples, those skilled in the art can make change to the present invention and revise under the situation that does not break away from spirit of the present invention.The present invention is limited by the scope of claim.Reference symbol in claims does not limit the present invention and is used for better understanding the present invention.
